AN ASSEMBLANCE OF JUDICIOUS HERETICS: 2017's collaborative project with the theme of ‘revolutions’.
For the fourth year running we teamed up writers and artists anonymously in what has fast become one of the most hotly anticipated events and exhibitions of the year.
The project works as follows: we ask writers to write to our theme - this year we asked them to be inspired by revolutions of any sort - then we anonymously give these written texts to a range of artists – and they will interpret the text in whatever medium they chose. The writing and artworks were displayed as part of an exhibition at Rochester Library throughout October 2017.
​
This year there were almost 40 artworks in the exhibition, taking the form of paintings, objects, sketches, textiles, prints, and more.
